Path of Exile's next expansion has been announced. Shacknews got a chance to take a first look at War for the Atlas and witness the coming war between The Shaper and another all-powerful entity called The Elder.

Path of Exile's Act IV expansion, Awakening, is adding a slew of new features that includes a major new addition to the game's skill trees. It's so major that the expansion will require a beta that will kick off on April 20.
